  • Make it a whole song, for cryin' out loud! :)

  • great cover

  • Best Melody on Youtube...... This RoCkZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ *Thumbsup*

  • Comment removed

  • I listen to this song ever once in a while; it makes me feel better every time. It's just so hauntingly beautiful. <3

  • I bought this guitar, just to get close to the incredible vibe in this interlude.

    Halleluja and Happy ****** Newyear, Mayer of the World!

  • this is awesome. check out my cover of this on sax, on my channel!

  • i hope she knows

  • I bet most who watch this don't even realize it is John Mayer

  • this video makes me wish there was double like button for videos that are truly awesome.

  • That guitar sounds sooo fucking good

  • I know its john mayer because I can see his chin the whole time and he usually plays with his head kinda low:P

  • @myprincessbunny yeah i knew it was him just by the way he moves. had no idea it was him at first. Just awesome

  • Why am I crying? Lol

  • @ohmyitzgina i was gonna post a comment saying the same thing. it's all beautiful and then toward the end is like the fucking heartbreak or some shit. So you are conflicted: you are in awe so you look stunned, its beautiful so you smile, & the last bit is like, "you motherfucker how dare you" so you cry

  • @ohmyitzgina Because it sounds amazing

  • this is beautiful! What guitar is it?

  • i stumbled upon this looking for amp demos and had no clue it was mayer until I read top comment, never would have known otherwise. Wish people didn't know so I could read some real comments that aren't bias'd either way,meaning wether you like Jm's tone or not

  • this is so epic. even more epic i watched this on the day he uploaded it..

  • Collings electric guitars are amazing!

  • excellent

  • Favourite video on the whole of youtube!

  • how do you get this mad tone? its killing me man haha

  • Comment removed

  • @Tangibleapparition yeah haha i do, its just that this tone is amazing, even for a player as gifted and talented as JM

  • that tone is sex

  • You walked out of the womb with a guitar in your hands... :D....I think I've watched this video about 400X's....Can't stop watching it...I'M AN ADDICT at this point..

  • This is absolutely amazing. :)

  • Pretty damn amazing.

  • Slowhand Jr. as they say, I hope he brings out more guitar solos in his new album cuz that'd be just totally kickass.

    ppl might argue when they hear he is the "guitar god" but he's definitely the guitar god of our generation.no shit about that.

  • This hits the soul...I can't wait till I can play this on my guitar....just started lessons one week ago.... :D....Thanks for the video...

  • at least 100,000 of these plays is because of me xD

  • why is he so amazing! unable to see the face or anything, but its still so powerful, think i am in love with john mayers hands!

  • Wow Wow

  • ... And that's why I play. Guitar, amp and endless fun. Enjoyed listening!!!!

  • OMG that Cornish NG-2 Fuzz. I need to get this or something like it.

  • thats John playing right?

  • @mayerfan09 yes it is.

  • What pedals are you using??

  • I love you John Mayer! Where have you been? Come back to us!

  • Sometimes I wonder how many people just stumble upon this video and don't realize that it's John Mayer

  • @oldham42 me hahahaahha

  • @oldham42 It took me a second to realize that is was John Mayer because it was back in 08 when he didn't have his tattoo sleeve yet.

  • @MrRuss411 Yeah me too I was like whats missing didn't realize till i read this what it was fell so silly now.

  • So musically orgasmic. Jesus.

  • I was thinking about this song today and I just randomly found this vid! Spooky! Wicked cover. :)

  • Nice work and guitar:)

  • why people feel the need to use TABS for this is lame, just use your ears and you reliase its not as hard as it seems to be, tabs are harder to get your head around and.. if you use your ears you can learn the key notes of the fretboard alot quicker

  • @DiamondMusicChannel Clear video and perfect sound no need for tab

  • Those hands!

    

  • The very last lick was just sickening...in a good way.

  • Simply amazing.

  • No i watched this in 3015 -.-'

  • hell yeah! this is so sick!

  • Magic happens whenever John picks up a guitar <3

  • john mayer > 

  • whould this be good enough for an audition to berklee school of music?

  • @OwensMusic1 Definitely not. But they do like Jazz guitar waaaaaay more than shredding licks etc

  • @OwensMusic1 Read the audition requirements. That'll give you a good rubric for your audition. Don't let idiots tell you that they "like Jazz guitar waaaaaay more". Part of the audition is jazz, but that's not the entire audition.

    This is the audition guideline:

    a prepared piece of your choice

    a reading selection (if you can)

    simple-form blues

    an optional improvisation over a standard jazz tune or harmonic vamp

    melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic ear training exercises

  • Lol amazing of course. I'm sure he knew that it was doable for most people so to make everyone's life difficult he throws in 2:17

    :P 

  • @willraz no

  • Panerai

  • it looks like a normal youtuber cover, catching the body and tha guitar and all... but it's John Mayer, one fucking famous guitarrist. I love that phenomenon on this vid. Apart from tha music, that is also awesome.

  • @RadioPivot I was looking at it that way also until I saw his $40,000 watch -_-

  • @RadioPivot

    I know what you mean. I remember when this was first uploaded and loads of the early comments were stuff like “oh he’s good but I doubt he could earn a living from playing guitar” guys using £9k worth of top end gear, of course he’s a pro. Oh and the user name gives it away a bit too.

  • I wish he would upload more often videos like this... just his awesome hands and the guitar!

  • @THEAmberCommander It's amazing!! Thanks!!

  • is this john mayer??? if yes than where are his tatoos

  • @GeorgianPranks  He got them after :P

    This video is old

  • Thumbs up if you watched it in 2011!

  • @desac2006 i saw this when it first came out brah! i've been enjoying it for 3 years haha

  • @aadamissocoollike you are not the only one who enjoyed it for 3 years!

  • @desac2006 no its 1995 you fucking moron

  • @desac2006 What? Room for Squares just came out!

  • Fuck John mayer... Why do you have to be so good... hahaha

    

  • Hi, I love the interlude, but I'm confuse, the original song is John Mayer's ? Where can I find the song? Nice work dude! love it

  • @asterixsv No, it's a cover. Read the description ;)

  • @photodrift description dont say outherwise. u think because hes famous he dosent listen to the radio.. everyone knows mayer music is his personal account

  • i fuckin love this

    

  • oh my god this is amazing. im only 13 and its my dream to meet youuu<3

  • You are a wonderful talent John

  • RAW

  • I don´t like to state that, but I´m afraid he really is the greatest :/ (Although the clip is edited.)

  • Where are his tats???

  • @mudliar11 He hadn't gotten the sleeve done here, and the others are covered because of the angels in this video :)

  • Comment removed

  • @hickierox Thank you! I didnt know one could do that...

  • um #1 610 people are fucking retarded. Now that that is out of the way, this is AMAZINGNESS! XD

  • TAB is up on Ultimate-Guitar!

    Search "I Think She Knows Interlude" and select the one under John Mayer.

    Thumbs up so people can see this post!

  • @cowboycliche022 DUDE WTF TABS?? Use your friggin ear.. its easy as shit...

  • @FreaquedeMusique I did use my ears...the tab is mine. I'm just letting other less-experienced guitarists know that it's available to them if they want it.

    Sometimes, if you're just beginning guitar, there are some things you just can't pick out. It took me a while to get to the point where I could tab a whole song or video on YouTube like this one; there's nothing wrong with starting out with tabs, as long as you continue to progress in your playing.

    And you didn't have to be so condescending.

  • @cowboycliche022 sorry i didnt mean to sound condescending, i apologize. But that is to me actually the entire point of becoming a better musician/guitar player, listening. thats how i get better, and this song is great to practise that with, so making tabs for people for this particular song isnt my idea of really helping but Ok (; sorry for sounding like a prick in the last comment!

  • @FreaquedeMusique No apology necessary. I've been thinking about what you said, and here's my opinion: I don't understand why tabs get such a bad rap. Sheet music tells players what to play, just in musical notation. However, what you also get with sheet music are tempo, dynamics, technique, etc.

    Tabs are different. You have free license to do whatever you want with the notes listed. Sure, developing your ear is a must, but there is NOTHING wrong with consulting a tab over a piece of music.

  • @cowboycliche022 That's true, I do believe tabs are better than sheet music. I've always used tabs and I will be using them for probably forever, for things I just can't figure out by ear. But this piece is really easy and he shows us perfectly, that's why I think this is a perfect start for starting aural training. Thats why I think it's sort of a shame that there are tabs for this. This is a perfect start!

  • what guitar is he playing?

  • @MrBboyflawless Collings I-35, it says in the description.

  • @MrBboyflawless

    read the description.

  • @MrBboyflawless he's playing a Collings I-35. Bill Collings is one of the greatest guitar builders of our time. Google Collings Guitars. He makes some of the best electrics and acoustics known to man. They make Gibsons and Martins seem like toys.

  • amazing

  • Comment removed

  • I dont know how u are thinking...

    but I just thought -> where can I buy that freaking awsome thing!?...

    I-Tunes, amazon - just no where...

    I wanna have that great I think she wknos vers.!!! -> and over all I wanna here what have been cuted out!

    Just please... release your version of !I think she knows"... maybe Its just me, but I would buy it!

  • Sorry everyone who asked for tabs.

    I'll be posting them on Ultimate-Guitar in the next few days.

    I'll let you all know once they're up.

    Thanks for being patient.

  • Hey check out my cover of this song with me on vocals, piano and flute. Would love any feedback, comments and likes!

  • I found some tabs that had a link to this video within, but I don't think they're exactly what's being played here..

    anyone got them tabs? else I'll tab this myself

  • don't you like the gibson es 335 more?

  • @doomey89 Collings guitars make Gibsons seem like toys.

  • Wow. I always loved just this portion in Justin's song, and John's version is fantastic!

  • That is one freaking sick guitar. Those lollar Humbuckers sound fantastic

  • Damn John, you did it again!

  • You're amazing!

  • How cool. All the time (and it´s been a while) I thought, this interlude is by far the coolest part of the whole Lovestoned LP. And this interpretation is even better, cause more made with instruments ;) But I wonder if a (clean) strat would have worked out even better for a solo, cause I guess it would have been nearer to the real voice. Nevertheless, cool.

  • If I posted tabs, especially to that last riff, would anyone be interested in them?

    Thumbs up if yes, and if I get enough confirmations by the end of the week, I'll do it this weekend.

  • I would love to see John Mayer live in concert one day. Anyone wanna donate some tickets to his next show?

  • @Ashabalea23 haha me too.. too bad he never even came to Belgium.. yet keeping my fingers crossed.. ;-)

  • i wish john and justin would do a joint tour, although tickets would be so expensive (and sold out) that id never get to go :p

  • WHOSE SICK IDEA WAS IT TO EDIT THIS!?!?!?!?

  • Incredible!

    

  • Justin timberlake should re-record Love Stoned and use that at the end, with Timberlands beats over it..............shit!!

  • i love john mayer so, but so much! <3 <3 <3

    and by the way...that guitar is gorgeous!

  • Not even kidding, the opening line to my english essay that I wrote today was "In the words of John Mayer, 'belief is a beautiful armor/it makes for the heaviest sword/.../oh everyone believes/in how they think it ought to be/

    <3 I LOVE THIS MAN.

  • Cornish NG-2, the same pedal used in "crossroads".. Love it <3

  • JM is amazing.

  • Panerai.

  • FACEBOOK/CyRENiC

  • @daw162 Lol, mediocre playing? Bit tense? John does this for a living and has earned millions on it. I think it's kind of an overestimation of yourself to put you in his league. He's one of our time's best musicians.

  • I wish i could hear this at the big stadium with no people around me with max volume i can take...

  • Am I the only one that doesn't give a shit if he's big headed? If I played and sang like him I would flaunt the fuck out of it.

  • i don't wanna give him a bigger head, but he has been tagged as the next 'hendrix' if that's possible.

  • @looausgdhw85678 Lol He's a great musician and a damn good guitarist but anyone that calls him the next Hendrix is smoking something great. I think John exceeds Clapton in many ways but not Hendrix or SRV

  • @Danklin24

    Agreed.

    Although even saying he exceeds Clapton may be somewhat of a stretch...Clapton has been playing for the better part of the 20th Century and is still a vital force in music during the 2000s.

    Mayer hasn't had that tremendous of an impact yet, but give him time. I'm sure he'll make us proud when it's all said and done.

    I'm looking forward to the day when musical pundits remember John Mayer as one of the most influential guitarists of the 2000s.

    He'll get there.

  • wow amazing....u should teach guitar classes online

  • @rpena728 LOL!

  • Comment removed

  • can I download this somewhere?

  • IT'S GOING UP TO 3 MILLIONS BEFORE 2011 --- THIS IS TO GOOD TO NOT BE RECONGNIZE . JOOHHNN -- YOURS THEE MASTEERRR OF FEELINGGSS

  • Second best to Kaki King's version.

  • thumbs up for JOHN MAYER!!!!!

  • wunderschön.

  • this is reminiscent of half of my heart

  • gorgeous.

  • pretty cool....still think justing toreit upthough

  • i like the shine on your guitar

  • Wow this is an Amazing video, what makes it even more amazing is the lighting.. it just sets a mood, a happy chilled mood :)

  • Am I the only one that is upset there is an edit at 1:50? I feel cheated out of more 'amazing-ness'!!!

  • @bgslash98 Sounds like he went on for quite a while on the riff and I think the edit was just simply to fast-forward to the solo.

  • @bgslash98 He obviously kept going with the same riff over and over so if it wasn't edited you would've heard the same riff going for a long time until he got to the solo. That's what you do when you're improvising and experimenting with new stuff, to a listener it could get boring. But it's not intended directly for listener, this is Mayer experimenting. It takes time to perfect something that you got going on. other words You should be thankful that he gave you the good stuff of this improv.

  • @bgslash98 he prolly only messing with the gain on his Fuzz.. thats all ur misin

  • @bgslash98 Do you really think he couldn't play it or do it again with that riff?

  • I never noticed John's reflection in the mirror at the very left of the screen until now...

  • I love it when John taps his feet to the beat. Such an amazing musician. Love you JM ! :}

  • So this is what $15,000 dollars worth of equipments sounds like being played by one of the worlds best players. Its actually sounds better than I expected it to. Thank you John.

  • fucking inspiration

  • The 607 dislikes can all F-off.

  • Sexy guitar. Sexy voice. Very sexy man.

  • @kelnel166 I agree

  • so crisp and fluid fucking awesome to watch

  • this version has nearly 10 times the views at JT's version. nuff said to the JM haters.

  • i'd actually buy this

  • Awesome John :D

  • I love JM's ear! He can just listen to something and immediately play it on the guitar, with very little having to actually figure it out. He is one of the greats no doubt!!

  • you know this changed my life, right?

  • We are all lead to belive wrong, there are supposed to be 8 days in a week. On the last day God created John Mayer.

  • @Relaxingwhispers No, that doesn't make any sense, according to christianity there's only one god, right? And that's obviously John Mayer!

  • @Relaxingwhispers The silliest case of idolatry ever.

  • such a sexy cover!!!!

  • If John plays it I love it, that's just how it is..
